Bolt Size Help.

[_WILL_]

When changing the gearbox mount a few weeks ago I had to remove the ali part that the mount sits in (also the part the battery sits on, so guessing its the battery tray!) I manged to snap one of the bolts that holds the "tray" in place. Luckily it snapped in such a way that it still partialy did its job and the car has been fine to drive.

I had completely forgotten about it infact until today, so my question is does anyone know the size of this bolt? It is the one that bolts through into the wheel arch and torques up to around 25 nM (i think, i'm at work so this is all from memory)

I will try and post a pic from my phone in a bit.

Going to try and pick one up this evening and get it replaced before it causes any extra damage!

Measure it?

Its a b**ch to get too and I am hoping to pick one up on the way home. But if no one knows then yes I will measure it. I can't up load a picture from my phone at the moment so I will try and do it using photobucket.

Best I can do is a link to the image. If someone can edit that would be helpful. Thanks
